Weaving Our Stories Spring Resistance Community Magazine
As 2021 draws to a close, we reflect on the many stories that celebrate our victories, our joy, and our resilience. We also celebrate those stories of resistance that continue to demand justice and an honest reckoning with the  many lived experiences that are often rendered invisible. 

Weaving Our Stories seeks writing and art that amplifies the BIPOC experience worldwide. While the rich and powerful continue to push a single narrative, we at Weaving Our Stories are looking for creative work that reveals the concealed story, the stories pushed to the edge, the stories that long to be told. Give us your art, poems, stories, essays, and articles that speak to our resistance and liberation. 

We are looking for your stories that align to the following themes:

Cultural Memory, Accountability, Resisting False Binaries and Countering Hegemony.

“Our histories never unfold in isolation. We cannot truly tell what we consider to be our own histories without knowing the other stories. And often we discover that those other stories are actually our own stories.”
― Angela Y. Davis

“Our story remains unwritten. It rests within the culture, which is inseparable from the land. To know this is to know our history.” -Haunani Kay-Trask

"Solidarity is not just about standing next to me at a rally or signing a petition; it is about having my back when I am not in the room. Solidarity is about centering the voices and stories of those who may not have a seat at the table but deserve one. It is rooted in the fundamental understanding that we need all of us to win." -Linda Sarsour
